Secures Approval to Access Financing to Support Ongoing Operations

Continuing to Operate Unique Global Platform of Highly Interconnected Data Centers Without Interruption

Cyxtera (NASDAQ: CYXT), a global leader in data center colocation and interconnection services, today announced that it has received approvals from the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of New Jersey for its “First Day” motions related to the Company’s voluntary Chapter 11 petitions filed on June 4, 2023.

The Court granted interim approval to access up to $54 million of the $200 million in debtor-in-possession financing from certain of its term lenders. In addition, Cyxtera obtained interim and final approvals from the Court for other First Day motions that enable the Company to continue:

  • Paying all employee wages, salaries and benefits;
